Maple and Walnut Box Maple and Walnut Box Maple and Walnut Box Click the pictures to enlarge them

Heres a little ditty, “Number 1” of 2 for some second grade teachers. It’s a memory box for the thank you notes that the kids are writing to their teachers. The maple was taken out of a small section of a limb that started to spalt and become worm eaten. See picture below.

The top is a Walnut graft veneer that is laid up on a piece of Western Red Cedar…the remnants of an old guitar top.

Nice box and beautiful wood. I like the inset top and the contrast is fantastic.

The box is simply beautiful and you put some nice wood into the construction.

Well done.
